I wanted to move there for a year. What are the best months weather-wise? I think it’s May and November. Talk to me.
It will eventually bounce back
When NYC has swirled down and is gone, someone please close the toilet seat.
Agree totally. The giant irresistable sucking sound has started and the whirlpool of NYC’s inevitable self-destruction has begun.
Sadly, millions will be financially destroyed in this disaster, where financial collapse will spread like a fast-growing cancer. One person’s financial collapse will bring about the financial collapse of another 2 or 3. Residents will flea in fear, only making the collapse more rapid, more inevitable.
Same will happen with Chicago, and possibly Portland, Seattle, maybe even San Francisco. Nancy Pelosi will be the last to leave and will turn out the lights - she doesn’t need SF, but SF needs her.
Whether it’s dead or not, it’s voters want this.
I’m sure a lot are saying they’re leaving and not going back. But how many have the means to leave? I hope the megacities perish and lose their political power. But I doubt it’ll happen.
When you move out please remember the voting habits that destroyed your home in the first place, and don’t repeat.
After a forest fire it looks like there will be no more forest. But whole new ecologies develop in succession until you have a full forest again.
And NYC isn’t completely burned down. Sometimes people feel more indispensible than they are.
“Three of the most important reasons to move to NYC:
- business opportunities
- culture
- food...”
Three (actually 4) of the most important reasons NOT to move to New York:
1. Gun laws
2. Congestion/crowded (I can’t breathe)
3. Most obnoxious democrat people in the world
4. It’s New York
I moved to NYC in the late 60’s and lasted 4 DAYS!
Currently the cost to rent a 26 foot U Haul truck for a week to transport 3/4 bedroom house furniture from NYC to Florida is $3128 while the cost for the same truck rental to transport from Florida to NYC is $768.The law of supply and demands tells the story quite succinctly. Simply put, most folks prefer to sip their iced covid cocktail beachside watching dolphins rather than curbside, unemployed and watching riots.
Please God they don’t move west of the Appalachians. Unless they go straight to Kalifornia. We don’t want their voting patterns.
New York will come back when:
Law and order mayor
Slashes taxes
Slashes regulations and bureaucracy
It becomes cheap enough
Business is a face to face relationship game.
The businesses that want to thrive must do this.
lol NYC is absolutely going to come back
“I don’t think I have an answer but I do think it’s clear: it’s time to move out of NYC.”
I’d like to know who that guy voted for. That just might provide an answer.
When did he move there; 1920?
Last I read, a couple years ago, it took a minimum of 2 years to open a restaurant in NYC and $500,000 just to get through the permitting process.
Yes you can open any business you like if you are a multi-millionaire.
Then, yesterday I read that the rent for the GAP was over $120K a month. Yep, I am going to move to NYC and open a clothing store.
The new technology is undercutting the economic rational for urban centers. First demand for retail space began to decline as people used their computers to order directly and more cheaplly from warehouse type vendors such as Amazon. Now innnumerable companies are learning that a majority of their employees can work efficently and profitbly from home on their computers and there is no need to congregate in huge , expensive central locations. Those big office buildings are declining in value and the resteraunts and botiques that servied them now have little or no business.The port of New York is antiquated and inefficent.Mass transportation cannot run at low capacity without huge subsidies. NYC still has unique cultural institutions but even in the best of times few were self supporting and now even larger subsidies are needed for fewer patrons. The bad socialist government has its consequences. Bureaucracies are bloated and inefficent. Government public schools are horrible. People are not confident about law and order which is an essential condition for urban living. Many who can are leaving. Share the author’s love and nostalgia for New York as it once was but it has changed and not for the better.
You know those lights were bright on Broadway
That was so many years ago
Before we all lived here in Florida
Before the Mafia took over Mexico
There are not many who remember
They say a handful still survive
To tell the world about
The way the lights went out
And keep the memory alive

Another Rudi will be needed
I dont love nyc
Libtards vote in libtards and have voted to ruin the place they live
And then lament and wonder why things are the way they are
